Inside a gas insert installation in Stone Crest
From the firebox to the chimney top, here is how a gas insert comes together in Stone Crest homes.
Who runs the gas line
The gas supply to an insert is a piece of work in its own right. Heat & Glo's manual says gas line installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer or plumber following the applicable codes, which it names as NFPA 54 and the current International Fuel Gas Code.
Your estimate lists the gas line as a separate item and names who will do it, so you know before install day. Our team coordinates the timing, so the line is ready when the insert is set and the connection can be checked before the surround goes on.
The logs that come with the insert
Gas inserts come with their own log set, designed for that burner. The manual gives a numbered position for each log, including how it rests against locating pins and where it must stay clear of burner ports.
Log placement affects the flame pattern and soot on the glass. Our installer sets each log to the diagram and checks the flame at startup. These logs belong to the insert itself, which makes this a different job from adding a loose log set to an open fireplace.
A film on the glass after the first fires
A white or cloudy film on the glass after the first few hours is normal. The owner's manual explains it as part of the curing of the paint and logs, and says the glass should be cleaned within three to four hours of the initial burn, sometimes with a non-abrasive gas fireplace glass cleaner.
Left too long, that film can bake on. We show you how to remove the glass assembly safely, which cleaner to use and when, so the view stays clear.
Swapping a wood insert for a gas one
Some fireplaces already hold a wood-burning insert. Replacing it with gas means taking out the wood insert and its chimney liner, then installing the gas insert with its own listed vent system.
They are different appliances with different vents, and the old wood liner cannot stand in for the gas insert's direct-vent liners. We clean and check the chimney once the wood insert is out, before the gas insert goes in.

Gas fireplace insert FAQs for Stone Crest
Answers from the family-owned team that fits gas inserts in Stone Crest.
What happens to my old damper?
It is locked fully open or removed, as the insert manual directs, so the liners can pass through. The gap around the liners is then closed with the material the manual allows.
Do I have to remove my mantel for an insert?
Not if it meets the insert's clearance table. We measure its height and depth against the table for your model. If it falls short, we explain the choices before anything is ordered.
